Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

too depressing for me. He was a lot more cheerful although very simple tune. here comes the sun https://vimeo.com/362976002
Bob Wilson: I just watched this again, closely. Unlike the Beatles original, this version — because of its simplicity — forces you to hear the words. It is a remarkable surreal poem about the absurdity of life.
Favorite ‘Beatles’ moment: in the mid-80’s I overheard some tweens talking about Sir Paul McCartney:
“Wasn’t he in Wings?”
I love it when her voice, being so well supported, and not close mic, resonates in the piano, and modulates with the pedal. With no headset she can hear it as we do.
To say that she has talent would be such an incredible understatement.
Her voice and pitch control are spot on, her range is extensive, and her timbre is rich.
She is quite young. I wish her all success as she grows.
Nice performance, talented aspiring artist. But it was obviously a voiceover. If you’re going to show just yourself singing with an instrument, capture the live sound as best you can, but don’t record separate, time-separated tracks and try to make us believe you have the talent to make it sound that good. It is extremely difficult to sing at peak capacity and simultaneously play an instrument with equal aplomb. The few artists that can, really stand out, and maybe this girl will get there with more practice. She obviously has a really good voice (if the voice track is in fact hers!), so she should have skipped the piano for this video and made a much more authentic live performance. There is just so much fakery out there with digital production tools that the truly talented artists must fight that much harder to get noticed.
Concerned: I strongly disagree. If this is lip synced it is the best lip sync I have ever seen.
